Part 2 Reading and Writing
五、Reading Comprehension.
A. Choose the best answer.
Yellow, orange, red and green tree leaves make autumn a colourful time! Who paints all these colours? It is the leaves themselves.
Inside a leaf, there are millions of little colour “bags”. They are green, yellow and orange. The green ones are called chlorophyll (叶绿素). The yellow ones are called xanthophylls (叶黄素). The orange ones are carotene (胡萝卜素).
In the summer, the green chlorophyll is very, very busy. It makes food for the tree. It catches sunlight to change water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) into sugar. This sugar is the food for the tree. It also covers up all of the other colours in the leaf.
When the weather grows colder in autumn, there is less light and water for trees. The trees will have a rest and get ready for winter. They’ve made enough food in summer! The leaves no longer need water to make food.
Without the water, the green chlorophyll starts to go away. The other colours in the leaf — the yellow xanthophylls and the orange carotene — come out. So the leaves don’t really “turn” a certain colour — they just lose their green!
But how about the red, purple and green leaves? The leaves look red or purple because they have some sugar in them. They “ steal ” some food from the tree! The green leaves are from the evergreen trees (常青树). Their leaves don’t lose water in winter. So, the green chlorophyll doesn’t go away.
( )35. The leaves of trees in autumn turn yellow because there is ____.
A. not enough sunlight
B. no sugar
C. no water
D. no chlorophyll working
( )36. The little colour “bags” refer to (指的是) ____.
A. green, yellow and orange
B. chlorophyll, carotene and xanthophylls
C. carbon dioxide
D. sunlight and water
( )37. The third paragraph mainly shows us ____.
A. what chlorophyll is
B. how chlorophyll makes water
C. sugar is food for trees
D. how photosynthesis (光合作用) works
( )38. The underlined word “steal” is closest in meaning to “____”.
A. take off
B. turn off
C. take away
D. throw away
( )39. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. In summer trees begin to shut down their food-making factories.
B. When autumn and winter come, the days get shorter and shorter.
C. During the winter trees rest and live on the food they have stored.
D. In winter little “bags” are still in the leaves.
( )40. We can know from the passage that ____.
A. water in the tree leaves makes them green
B. sugar in the tree leaves makes them yellow
C. sunlight makes tree leaves green
D. carbon dioxide makes tree leaves green
B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage.
I was feeling pretty low at home alone. I would have an operation the next week, so I was 41 . The doctor was excellent but was new to me. My sister was an experienced operating room director. She usually made me relaxed about my medical care. But she had 42 away recently. This would be my first time to face an operation without her right there by my side.
I was on my own. What if something went 43 ? I moved and turned all that night.
The next day, I decided I had to get my mind (头脑) out of everything. A good 44 would do. I headed to the bookcase in my bedroom to get something to read. There were some novels (小说) I had picked up from a library sale over a year ago. Right on top I saw a best-selling mystery novel.
I sat down in the bedroom, opened the book and began to read. I couldn’t believe that the book’s prologue (序言) began with a woman waiting for an operation! She was also feeling down, wondering (想知道) if she had 45 the right hospital, the right doctor.
“This is a team effort,” the doctor said to her. “We must not forget someone very important,” he continued, “the most important member of our team. Do you know who that is?”
I read on, breathless. The doctor patted (轻拍) the woman’s hand 46 and pointed at her. “Yourself,” he told her.
And I realized my life wasn’t only in the doctor’s hands, it was in mine as well. Soon I felt more confident and hopeful about the coming operation.

D. Answer the questions.
There are many holidays and festivals. Dads have Father’s Day. Mums have Mother’s Day. But do our grandparents have a special festival? Yes, they do!
The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show love and respect (尊重) to their grandparents.
There are many ways in which Chinese people show their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. People are introduced (介绍) from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus.
Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience (知识和经验) that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old.
In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement (退休) they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well.
Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discounts in stores and restaurants.
But Western seniors don’t often live with their children — they live by themselves. For holidays, the family usually gather (聚集) at the grandparents’ home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.
